One Solution Reached From Different Paths
Hospitals have common goals for managing patient information. They want to put the records in the hands of users as quickly and efficiently as possible. Most agree electronic data is the optimum solution.
One emerging option that solves these issues is Software as a Service (SaaS). Simply put, a third party stores the customer's data in a central repository and the customer accesses their information 24/7 via a secure web login. A SaaS system provides many benefits including built-in IT support, remote access option, reduced internal demands on IT staffing and server capacity, and off-site security that the overwhelmed IT structure cannot offer.
Valley View Regional Hospital in Ada, OK wanted to find a turn-key solution that freed up server space and back-up time. Lubbock Heart in Lubbock, TX, was faced with an overflowing file room. Both chose EDCO's SaaS solution
